Britain Shows Support for Saudi Arabia After Houthi Attacks
Britain reaffirmed its solidarity with Saudi Arabia following the attacks carried out by the Houthi militia targeting civilian objects and economic infrastructure within the kingdom. During a telephone call, UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband reiterated his country's support for Saudi Arabia's right to defend its security, and the two sides discussed enhancing cooperation to ensure navigation security and protect trade movement through the Gulf passages. This comes especially after the Houthis seized control of the Bab al-Mandab Port and the western coast of Yemen, posing a threat to vital shipping lanes for transporting oil and Saudi exports. This escalation coincides with an increase in Houthi attacks and the targeting of Saudi oil lines, most notably the East-West pipeline, which was halted after a drone attack originating from Iraq. It is one of the kingdom's most important oil transportation lines.
